VII Transportation Management Center of the Future

The third component is a 3,200 square foot exhibition designed to showcase the integration of active probe data into the most advanced applications of Transportation Management Center (TMC) systems. This demonstration will illustrate the future of TMCs and how these new cooperative system applications will change the way we do business in the coming decades. Actual raw probe data will be brought into the TMS from the tour busses and other DSRC-equipped vehicles in the New York area and elsewhere, if necessary. This data will be displayed in the VII TMC inside the exhibit hall and World Congress delegates will be shown how vehicle-based sensor data can be used to generate information useful to highway operations. The VII TMC will also demonstrate vehicle-based applications such as the generation of travel time data, signal timing, weather forecasting, and road condition warnings.
